I still think of your mother nearly everyday because my dog Babe and I run/walk past her house on a daily basis. Last spring I planted a magnolia tree in my yard on the east side of my house in memory of her. She made the world a better place.

Dear Barb and Tom: We are saddened by the death of Barb's mother but know she is at rest and peace. We did not know her but have heard many wonderful stories about her through Barb. She was a very fortunate woman to have three daughters surrounding her with love and good care, especially during her later years right up to her death. She will be sorely missed by her family and many friends. We send our love to you and your family and pray that she has everlasting peace with the Lord and her husband. Now it is time for you to really begin your retirement since you have done your duties of caring for all four of your parents, and they would all agree to this statement, I'm sure.

Barb and Tom, you are very loving and caring people to your friends as well as your family, and for this we sincerely thank you. We are very happy that you are in our lives and also are cottage neighbors.

Love, Maxine and Bruce Smiley

Dear Barb and Tom, Please know that you and your Family are in our thoughts and prayers in the loss of your Mom! We know how much you loved her and cared for her! May the assurance of her entrance into Heaven be of great comfort and peace to all of you! We are so thankful that she is reunited with all of her loved ones and now free of pain, sorrow and tears for ever!
We know that your hope will rest in that wonderful reunion with her at some future point! May our Heavenly Father hold you close as you grieve this great loss!
Thinking of you and praying for you! Alrun and Frank Milligan

Dear Tom, Barb, and family,
Although you will miss your mom much, the Lord was merciful to answer her prayers, taking her home to be with Him and her loved ones gone before. Now, she is free from the pain and suffering of this old world, and you have the blessed assurance of that glorious reunion that awaits us all. We just know what a woman of faith she was and how she touched the lives of all her family forever. God bless and keep you.
Love in Jesus, John and Ruth (Gideon friends)

Prayers for your family!

Your mom was a dear friend and neighbor to me. She loved all the amazingly beautiful flowers around her house, the snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, peonies, and tulips. She passed away when her magnificent magnolia tree in her front yard was in full bloom. I hope there are magnolia trees in heaven. I will miss her deeply as I know you will too.
